1. Hiccups are medically called "hiccups". It is a common phenomenon caused by sudden contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, commonly known as "hiccups". Hiccups can be divided into two categories: benign self-limiting and refractory. The former is caused by eating too cold or too hot food or being overly nervous or excited. It is non-persistent and can heal itself, so no special treatment is needed. The latter is mostly caused by improper diet, damage to stomach qi, depression, stomach qi reflux, or physical weakness after illness, overwork, or ulcers, epilepsy, brain tumors, or drug allergies. The severity of hiccups varies greatly. Mild cases occur occasionally and are fine after they stop. Severe cases have sounds in the throat that are short and frequent and cannot be controlled. In the late stages of a serious illness, the hiccups do not stop and food and drink are difficult to take, which is very likely to develop. Treatment should be to distinguish between deficiency and excess, regulate qi and harmonize the stomach. Reduce the reflux and stop the hiccups.
